Acting
I wrapped up Foote Notes at the Open Fist Theatre in Hollywood. It received wonderful reviews in Backstage West and LA Weekly and it was a very moving production by the award winning writer, Horton Foote. What a fun experience!
My most recent television roles were on the CBS program Criminal Minds and the new TBS series Monday Mornings. Theatrically, I played the character of Ella in Curse of the Starving Class at the Open Fist Theatre, which was a Critics Pick in the Los Angeles Times. I have also appeared in the world premiere of Horton Foote's plays, Harrison, Texas and The Roads to Home at The Lost Studio. Recent film and television credits include Law and Order, L.A., The Event, Desperate Housewives, The Troublemakers (pilot), and The Boarder. I am a graduate of Playhouse West, hold a B.A. in Theatre Arts, and am a company member at the Open Fist Theatre, Actors Art Theatre, and a member of The Dramatists Guild.
